Lions-Commanders Rematch: Mariota Starts With Daniels Out, Detroit Enters as Road Favorite

Oddsmakers have Detroit by roughly eight points following Washington’s loss of Jayden Daniels to a dislocated elbow.

Overview

  • Detroit (5-3) visits Washington (3-6) on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX in Landover in a rematch of last season’s divisional-round upset.
  • Commanders coach Dan Quinn said it was his mistake that Jayden Daniels remained in during the blowout when he dislocated his left elbow, and the quarterback will miss this game.
  • Marcus Mariota will start for Washington, and the team is 0-4 in his four appearances this season, two of which were starts.
  • Detroit is seeking a rebound after a Week 9 loss, but its offense has been uneven and the line is banged up, with guard Christian Mahogany out until at least late December.
  • Washington placed Marshon Lattimore and Luke McCaffrey on injured reserve, Terry McLaurin is considered unlikely to play, and the defense ranks near the bottom against the pass during a four-game skid.
